The Audio Files Ep. 15: Spinal Tap

Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot dive headfirst into the outrageous world of This Is Spinal Tap, the cult classic mockumentary that redefined music parody. From exploding drummers to miniature Stonehenge disasters, the hosts unpack the film’s funniest, and eerily realistic, moments while sharing personal band stories and backstage mishaps. They trace the band’s “career,” revisit legendary songs like Big Bottom and Listen to the Flower People, and explore how real rock icons from Judas Priest to Van Halen inspired some of the film’s most absurd scenes. With clips, commentary, and plenty of laughs, this episode celebrates the genius of Spinal Tap and its lasting impact on music and comedy.
